Get ready for one of São Miguel's most magical hikes, starting from the charming village of Faial da Terra.

You'll follow a lush, jungle-like path alongside a stream, leading you to the stunning Salto do Prego waterfall where a refreshing swim awaits.

The return journey takes you on a loop through the historic, semi-abandoned village of Sanguinho, with its quaint stone houses, offering a glimpse into the island's past.

The whole circular trail is about 4.6 kilometers and should take you around two to three hours at a comfortable pace.
